I'd suggest trying a vps or tor
Alternatively, if you can find a way to change the dns server your browser uses by default.

You'll just have to pm theymos again in a few months...

Address is signed and has all the information necessary. The address is quite new, as it is only 8 months old, however, it'll probably still get accepted as it's old enough...

You might just have to wait for it now though... Theymos is quite busy with these types of requests.

Whichever you prefer. You could post a signed message here and PM me what you actually sent if you want your email protecting.

You'd need to post a signed staked address/public key from that account. If you haven't done this, this is why theymos won't recover your account.

Who advised you to make the topic.

We probably can't help very much other than determining if the message you sent to theymos is one that looks like it wil get accepted (as in it follows all of the rules on the sticky about account recovery).

Is there a reason you're advertising what looks like a blatant ponzi in your signature?

Looks a lot like the promises of other sites like terabox dot me for example.

Theymos has changed a few peoples' usernames. I think a user I knew as Izanagi had his name changed (as there is no user under that name anymore).

Also some custom titles have been changed for moderators before now but that's not usernames.

Remember this: It's not about the name, it's about how well you post.

If someone was good enough at it, they'd use different addresses/IPs per block so it'd be almost impossible to trace that the network is being attacked before the old chain gets rejected and lost.

The increased number of blocks in a shorter amount of time would go noticed however. (As the block difficulty takes 2016 blocks to change).

There's also the issue that there might be a sustained 51% hashrate by a pool before anyone notices they're doing something unusual. And this is really off topic now.

I can fund this, with the understanding that if the collateral drops below the value of Bitcoin initially lent, I will sell it.

I'm getting mixed signals.
https://enforum.bitmain.com/bbs/topics/4014 - says no but they asked them quite while ago.

It was also asked here somewhere [according to a google search] and the S2s apparently came with a psu.

What about customs. A chief cunstable decides they want to find packets with bitcoin hardware wallets in it and replace them with ones similar in order to make a quick amount of money. What about ledger themselves, they could throw in a few issues with their wallet to steal funds (do it to about 0.1% of packages and it won't rise up very mcuh suspicion).

My online computer didn't get hacked either. So both are as unlikely to happen, it's safer to airgap a client though and easier than to get a hardware wallet.


Well that's an obvious truth. A laptop looks like a harmless and innocent device that could have been used for anything. A ledger nano is quite clearly a bitcoin wallet and it's a bit easier to steal than a computer. Slip it into their pocket and away they go. The maid stuff could be a hobby waiting for a wealthy bitcoin investor to drop their ledger drive in their room somewhere or they could be trafficked into that country to work as a maid and are trying to get their freedome (stealing $100 is probably fine in that circumstance but not a drive with $20000+ on it).

Meanwhile the topic in question is on antivirus and not how likeley a maid is to steal your hardware wallet.
You also have to write your seed down with a hardware wallet which is, in itself, a way the money could be taken.

I might check their website and facebook/twitter to see if anything comes up. Let us know what the answer is, lets hope you get a reply before Friday!

Can you stop posting for you alt?

This is exactly true, if they were clever enough to keep changing the address the block rewards go to then you might assume it is going to multiple people.

With the pools at the moment, it's like if Bitmain didn't tell you they owned BTC.com and Antpool.com then you'd think those were two different miners, this is probably how a similar style of attack would go. Someone wouldn't say they owned 50%+ of hashpower as another miner maker would obviously want to resolve this (there are three major ones: Bitfury, Bitmain and BW afaik).

Is that denial that hardware wallets are somehow now really safe. A lot of attacks have taken place in the past on them

They are insured though in quite a few countries.
And yes it is best to use webcams as bob said but then you have to get two webcams that you use for only that and sometimes qr code scanner apps get a bit faulty (there's also the 1000 byte limit of QR codes).

This is also reliant on your postal carriers and security officicals not changing anything on it's way to you.

You'd still then need an antivirus. I managed to store 1.25BTC when the price per bitcoin was $16000 without any issues in electrum on an online computer.

And the two webcams idea seems good, but there is a 1000 byte limit to a lot of qr code scanners. Another idea of doing this would be using DVDs that you can just throw away afterwards as they're really cheap.

These two aren't entirely safe though. Don't rely on them for being able to do whatever you want to on the internet. There are stuff in trezor software especially that come up where there are vulnerabilities found inn old vertions of the software. Ledger, I think is a bit more secure, but you can never get total security. Airgapping also means viruses can be transmitted through flash drives which can end up grabbing your code.

Even things like paper wallets can never be truly secure (a dice throw and a script running offline can fix some of these errors however, these are much more secure if your plan is to hodl instead of spend).

Oh yeah oops.


It seems to be for quite a sort amount of time so we probably won't ever know whether it was a DDoS or not (if it was, we know they gave up very quickly).

Most paid for antiviruses do well. My preference is Norton by Symantec.

However, a lot of other users use McAfee, Avast and AVG.

I don't think there is a better one it's just down to your own preference, they all probably share databases anyway (or have access to each others' databases).

For free ones, I'd probably say malwarebytes is the most reliable.

If you get an antivirus, make it so it won't scan your blockchain folder (as it might corrupt it).

Reduce the number of block confirmations to zero before spending and try again? Is it possible some of your transactions haven't yet confirmed, can you post your address (or pm it)?

Thinking about it a bit more, could "" be both the regular wallet and the change addresses and the other is just main addresses.
